3. Place a sheep's heart in a dissecting tray. Turn the heart so that the ventral surface is facing you, as shown in the diagram below. Use the diagram of the ventral view to locate the left and right atria, the left and right ventricles, the aorta, the superior and inferior vena cava, and the pulmonary arteries. Turn the heart over. Use the diagram of the dorsal view to locate once again the structures just named, as well as the pulmonary veins.

4. Use a blunt metal probe to explore the blood vessels that lead into and out of the chambers of the heart.

5. Locate a diagonal deposit of fat along the lower two-thirds of the heart. This serves as a guideline to mark the wall between the two ventricles. Use this fatty deposit to guide your incision into the heart.
